ENSEMBLERewind—Rewind—
ANGELICAI remember that night, I just mightregret that night for the rest of my days.I remember those soldier boystripping over themselves to win our praise.I remember that dreamlike candlelightlike a dream that you can’t quite place,but Alexander, I’ll never forget the firsttime I saw your face.I have never been the same,Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame,And when you said “Hi,” I forgot my dang name,set my heart aflame, ev’ry part aflame,
FULL COMPANYThis is not a game…
HAMILTONYou strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied.
ANGELICAI’m sure I don’t know what you mean. You forget yourself.
HAMILTONYou’re like me. I’m never satisfied.
ANGELICAIs that right?
HAMILTONI have never been satisfied.
ANGELICAMy name is Angelica Schuyler.
HAMILTONAlexander Hamilton.
ANGELICAWhere’s your fam’ly from?
HAMILTONUnimportant. There’s a million things I haven’t done butjust you wait, just you wait…
ANGELICASo so so—so this is what it feels like to match witswith someone at your level! What the hell is the catch? It’sthe feeling of freedom, of seein’ the light,it’s Ben Franklin with a key and a kite! You see it, right?The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes,ev’rything we said in total agreement, it’sa dream and it’s a bit of a dance,a bit of a posture, it’s a bit of a stance. He’s abit of a flirt, but I’m ‘a give it a chance.I asked about his fam’ly, did you see his answer?His hands started fidgeting, he looked askance?He’s penniless, he’s flying by the seat of his pants.
Handsome, boy, does he know it!Peach fuzz, and he can’t even grow it!I wanna take him far away from this place,then I turn and see my sister’s face and she is…
ELIZAHelpless…
ANGELICAAnd I know she is…
ELIZAHelpless…
ANGELICAAnd her eyes are just…
ELIZAHelpless…
ANGELICAAnd I realize
ANGELICA AND COMPANYThree fundamental truths at the exact same time…
HAMILTONWhere are you taking me?
ANGELICAI’m about to change your life.
HAMILTONThen by all means, lead the way.
COMPANY (EXCEPT ANGELICA)Number one!
ANGELICAI’m a girl in a world in whichmy only job is to marry rich.My father has no sons so I’m the onewho has to social climb for one,so I’m the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip inNew York City is insidious,And Alexander is penniless,Ha! That doesn’t mean I want him any less.
ELIZAElizabeth Schuyler. It’s a pleasure to meet you.
HAMILTONSchuyler?
ANGELICAMy sister.
COMPANYNumber two!
ANGELICAHe’s after me cuz I’m a Schuyler sister.That elevates his status, I’dhave to be naïve to set that aside,maybe that is why I introduce him to Eliza,now that’s his bride.Nice going, Angelica, he was right,You will never be satisfied.
ELIZAThank you for all your service.
HAMILTONIf it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it.
ANGELICAI’ll leave you to it.
COMPANYNumber three!
ANGELICAI know my sister like I know my own mind,you will never find anyone as trusting or as kind.If I tell her that I love him she’d be silently resigned,he’d be mine.She would say, “I’m fine”
ANGELICA AND COMPANYShe’d be lying.
ANGELICABut when I fantasize at nightit’s Alexander’s eyes,as I romanticize what mighthave been if I hadn’t sized himup so quickly.At least my dear Eliza’s his wife;at least I keep his eyes in my life…
ANGELICATo the groom!
